## About the Role

What We Need to See: + BS or MS in EE/CE (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years in silicon power architecture, system-level design, validation, and power/performance optimization. + Strong EE fundamentals: digital design, low power design, DVFS, control systems, power management, timing, and architecture. + Solid understanding of firmware/driver structures and HW/SW interaction. + Familiarity with clocking, boot/reset flows, and system architecture is a plus. + Hands-on lab experience (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers) and silicon bringup exposure are a bonus. + Programming proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Perl in Windows/Linux environments. + Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.
Ways to Stand Out in a Crowd: + Demonstrated cross-functional leadership - experience driving alignment across architecture, silicon, firmware, and software teams on complex, ambiguous problems. + System-level intuition - the ability to reason about power and performance holistically, not just at the block level, and to translate architectural tradeoffs into clear engineering decisions. + AI-assisted engineering fluency - comfort using AI tools (such as Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to accelerate analysis , workflows, generate and review scripts, synthesize technical documentation, and explore solution spaces faster.

## Description

What You'll Be Doing: + Architect and integrate system-level performance and power management features, controllers, and policies to optimize product efficiency across datacenter and client products . + Build feature roadmaps to address low-power, low-noise, and performance-per-watt product needs through prototyping, use-case analysis, and cost/benefit trade-offs. + Partner with architecture, ASIC, board/platform, software/firmware, and marketing teams to drive design decisions and debug complex issues. + Track industry trends and market needs and translate them into forward-looking roadmaps that keep NVIDIA's products ahead of the curve. + Lead debug efforts, develop workarounds, and support bringup , validation, manufacturing, and customer escalations.
